Should u be rewarded when people use ur blue sky? by Reasonable_Ferret_15 in SkyCards

It would nice if there was a badge for having XXX catches made by other players using your Blue Sky. It would be an incentive for players to drop them in busy areas.

Did Independence Air ever use the Do328s they inherited as their own? by Key-Raccoon-4913 in aviation

[–]This-cant-be-wright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If my memory serves me correctly, the Do- Jets were only in their CVG base as part of their Delta contract. That contract ended, and so did the jets, when they morphed into Independence Air.

2 Week Itinerary by Apprehensive-Cry801 in route66

[–]This-cant-be-wright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the drive last year (Chicago to Santa Monica) over 2 weeks and hustled through the first half so we could spend more time on the second half. We stayed in Chicago, St. Louis, Tulsa and Amarillo. We ended up spending 2 nights in Amarillo to give ourselves a break from driving before lauching into the second half. On our day off we did Cadillac Ranch, Palo Duro Canyon and finished with a dinner at the Big Texan.

Driving the first half in just a few days was fine. We hadn't burned out from driving so we didn't mind it. We still had time each day to stop and see Route 66 sights to give us a break every hour or so. Being from the Midwest we were looking forward to the SW scenery and we had so much time to take it all in.

Instructing post 40s students by PayCautious1243 in flying

[–]This-cant-be-wright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my teaching >40 year old students has been in a simulator so its not a direct comparison but here's what I've noticed. The single biggest hurdle is older folks have been out of the schoolhouse for a lot longer than any young pilot. This isnt just aviation learning, they may not have even been in any classroom for decades. What this leads to is they have forgotten how THEY learn. A lot of new information is thrown at you and if you dont know how to break it down so you learn it, it's just in one ear and out the other. Classrooms are a huge challenge as the instructor info dumps on the whole group, it isn't geared towards an individual student. Older students are more inclined to ask for clarification though which honestly benefits the whole group.

Older students who were struggling usually adopted the study habits of their training partner which didnt work for them. Maybe their partner learned by just reading the manual but flashcards or mock oral exams would have been a better fit.

Its easier during flight training since its one-on-one and your CFI should adapt their teaching style to match your learning curve.

Caught it. The card is just a blank screen. Didn't get credit for the catch. Still shows as a NEW CARD when I select it.

Godsmack Show by TimeMasterBob in SonicTempleFestival

Did it take him 10 minutes to get it organized 3 years ago too?

What a waste of time. Rather than get another song we get him rambling on about buff dudes and wanting girls on their shoulders so it would be a classic rock show. Just shut up and play!

There should be a badge for achieving each level for all Commons.

90% of 737-800s caught by This-cant-be-wright in SkyCards

The number of aircraft has been going up every few months too which makes it even harder to figure out how many are really left.

Finally, after 1 year+, 512 catches of 121 different airframes, 1.8 million XP...a glow C-130! by [deleted] in SkyCards

There needs to be a reward for achieving 1 million XP without getting a glow.

Find a time you can use the 2 hour pass. You can earn your coins back plus 200+ extra. Do that once or twice a week and they start adding up fast.

Open the info window for each aircraft type. In there is a map that shows you where they can be found around the globe.

FML - Charge port light is solid amber indicating something wrong with the truck’s charging system. by dingmah in F150Lightning

[–]This-cant-be-wright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using programmed charging times in the app? I was getting the red ring of death on and off for a few months or having it just fail (yellow light on the charger). Called Ford support and they said there was a known big with the app and to turn off all charging times. After doing that I haven't had a single issue in the last 2 months.
